September 17, The Ranches, Golf Tournament is coming along GREAT! Thanks to everyone who has signed up. The Ranches suggested that with the support and interest we have had we do two starts, one at 8:00 and one at 2:00. We are sticking with the 8:00 a.m. only and we are pretty much at capacity and ready for a great time. I say this so that anyone that is interested in coming to our Casino Night on October 11 at the Salt Palace purchase their tickets. Don't let your chances slip away to attend Casino Night on October 11. PURCHASE your tickets on Soccerunitesutah.com and purchase through Paypal. We will soon be offering a Paypal link to sign up for our Texas Hold Em tournament as well. And, details for the Juan Diego Judge girl's soccer fundraiser will be up very soon as well. That will be held at Juan Diego High School and will cost $5.00 per ticket. Both Judge and Juan Diego soccer teams have tickets to be sold.
One last thing, Julie is right, what Mehdi did was AMAZING! If you look at the picture of holding his $100 worth of tickets, and see the excitement when he won, you will see he really did want the WII. They are very hard to find. When he came up and told Seth what he was doing it was SO cool, the customers all started clapping, and then Seth and Kevin became auctioneers. So many talents Seth, wow you just don't stop do you. lol
Well, off to working again, just posted the new golf foursomes and wanted to let you know that we are full. Thanks to everyone I look So forward to seeing all of you there. Thanks to our company Harper Concrete, Inc. for making this happen with their sponsorship.

Denver - Fundraiser
Well, yes we are back safe, and how much fun we had, I mean, wow we worked SO HARD haha! What an amazing event. Noel and Wendy, owners of the Celtic Tavern and Delaney's were probably some of the most genuine people I think I have ever met in my life. They donated, they helped, they were just the kind of people you wish you could meet everyday. Kevin, and Optimal Frequency, for donating your time, THANKS! You guys are SO good. We really do want you to come to SLC. Seth, loved to see you up on stage again! Thanks for your HUGE effort and all the work you put into this, it paid off. Oh, and for making me laugh as you had the CO player's totally jammin, AWESOME! To Mr. and Mrs. Trembly, you did it right! Seth has grown up with the two of you as his example, and just like you fostering and giving homes to so many kids that never would have had one, he too finds a way to make a difference!
Now, the Colorado Rapids, I know as Real Salt Fans we refer to them as the "Crapids" but let me tell you, the geneousity, and sincerety that was shown by the player's of this team was SO SO cool! This rival team had individuals that donated money, purchased donation tickets, (thanks Mehdi, and Christian for the cash donations you made), players donated their jerseys, their own time to golf, or train, they totally helped our event be a success, That truly is the meaning of friendship and I KNOW Andy and Marcia are very very thankful. I hope that when the group of 20 that purchased the suite, THAT THE RAPID'S FRONT OFFICE DONATED, THANK YOU, go to the game on October 25, that you give that team a standing ovation. Not for being a team, but for being great individuals!
To Laura, Jen, Julie and Madi, my Utah volunteers, I could not have done it without you. It was so funny, we walked into Delaney's and Seth was waiting, a bit nervous, and we just took over! This team had the auction in order and signs printed and up in a matter of a few hours. Still not exactly sure how Madi passed for 21, and I now know never to let her out of my site again after watching men hit on her all night long! haha again everyone THANKS! take a look at the great pictures Julie took for us, hopefully you can share in the event with us.
REMEMBER, it can now be your turn, we have the golf tournament, Juan Diego vs Judge Girl's event, and CASINO NIGHT. Let's come together Utah and create success! Plus you make alot of great friends!
Thanks to all... Love ya, Deb

DENVER - SETH TREMBLY - CO RAPIDS
Well, here I am in Denver. Can I tell you Seth has worked his butt off! We have the greatest items here, and Delaney's owners have gone out of their way to be AMAZING! I am sitting back in the silent auction room (watching the RSL game on my computer fearing for my life, haha) and just looking around in amazement. I called Marcia, and if I could have reached Andy I would have (in Jamicia). The love and the prayers that are coming from SO many people are just incredible. To think that the CO Rapids players have donated their time to play golf, or train with fans for Andy and Marcia is the true meaning of friendship. So, I just wanted to put up a quick note to say, WE ARE READY! It looks great, the band is here, Optimal Frequency, one the bests bands in Denver by the way, again thanks to Seth and to Optimal Frequency! We are ready to make some money. The Rapids' will be coming around 9:00 and the party begins. So, be sure to come back tomorrow for an update I can't wait to tell you all about it. Don't forget you can bid on these items, such as Pablo's 2004 World Cup Jersey signed by the team, or a CO Rapids suite for 20 people for the RSL vs CO on October 25. Bid by sending an email to soccerunites@aol.com and then you can pay if you win thru our Paypal on the account. To everyone, thanks! We will succeed with people like Seth, RSL, Rapids, and people who love the Williams! Marcia, if you are reading this, tell my Lexilou and Shai hi and I love them too. And, stay strong. Andy, can't wait to see back home safe, things are going to be OK! Love you both.

Personal Note From Seth Trembly
Person Note from Seth Trembly
As you watched Saturday’s game, Rapids vs RSL, you saw Andy Williams #77, the Jamaican National, help his side secure victory against the Rapids recording his second game winning assist this season. What you did not know is that Andy Williams #77 is playing with a heavy heart.
Andy Williams has faced many uphill battles in his long and storied career, but none as tough as the battle that he has currently been faced with. His wife Marcia has been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia that will require chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. Although Andy is insured, the out of pocket expense they are faced with will top $150,000.00
What you don't know is off the field Major League Soccer is a small social circle and guys that have played together either on MLS teams, National Teams, or College Teams. I became good friends with Andy from our time on the field together at RSL. After spending the 2006 season looking down at the field due to ACL surgery, I became great friends with the wives and families of the RSL team. Marcia was always the first one to say “hi” and give me a kiss on the cheek. She always had this endearing look letting me know she understood how bad I felt not being able to be down on the field playing. I felt like an older brother as I teased and made funny faces at their two daughters Shaiann (14) and Alexia (5). When I heard about the struggles they are now facing I knew I had to help anyway I could.
And this is where the beauty of how Soccer Unites begins…
I decided to put together a fundraiser with live music and a silent auction, but where to begin? First I needed somewhere to hold the event. One place came to mind. I hit up my old friend Noel who is one of the owners of Delaney's and the Celtic Tavern. I had met Noel from my days as a Rapids player when they hosted the Post Match Parties. He eagerly jumped on board telling me he would host the event at Delaney's and would assist me in putting the event together. Noel related to me how seven years ago the tragic deaths of his two sons made him start a Charity Golf Tournament and how it had grown over the years from raising $2,000 the first year to over $30,000 this year for the Children's Hospital. His help and support is something that I will never forget.
Next, I called Kevin Eady a friend that I grew up playing club soccer who is now a member of one of the best rock bands in Denver, Optimal Frequency. I told him about the event and asked if their band would donate a Saturday night and play the event for free? Without a second of hesitation they said yes.
Since then many people have donated items for the auction and their time to help a family more than 500 miles away. Former teammates of Andy’s, and current Rapid’s Pablo Mastroeni, Mike Petke, and Mehdi Ballouchy, as well as other players from the team have been a tremendous help offering to help by hosting the event and donating their time and items for the silent auction.
It is times like this that make you reflect on the power of the sport of soccer. Two teams that are bitter Rocky Mountain Rivals on the field, two groups of fans that support their teams with such great intensity are able to come together to show true compassion for one another. Friends that are united through soccer, and times such as these, are friends that last a lifetime. I can honestly say, “Soccer is truly a sport that UNITES”.

UPDATE
Well everyone, things are GREAT and moving along well! We have the T-shirts that are selling very well and can be purchased at Leo's Pride on Wednesday and every home game. 100% of the proceeds go to the Williams Family Fundraiser's when purchased. ALSO, how very cool is this...
Seth Trembly and the Colorado Rapids have put together a fundraiser that will be taking place in Denver on September 6!! It will be held at Delaney's Bar on Blake Street and Optimal Frequency, one of the best bands in Denver will be playing and DONATING their playing that evening, which is HUGE. Seth has worked out a percentage of the bar proceeds going to The Williams Fundraisers, and also a silent auction. The majority of the Rapids are attending and it will be a great time! Laura, Jen, Julie, and I will be going back to help. With Julie there we will have some great pictures. How cool is this that Seth has worked to put this all together. Again, the name is so POWERFUL, SOCCER DOES UNITE!!
Jordan Cila will also be hosting a Fundraiser on September 13, It will be at a bar called Redemption in New York City. The event wll be after the NYRB vs RSL game. It will be an open bar event, and all proceeds (profit after cost of drinks) will be going towards Soccer Unites and The Sporting Chance Foundation. Another AMAZING event!
We have the golf tournament on September 17 at The Ranches, that is coming along well! We are still looking for sponsors, or donations for Casino Night on October 11, but we are off to a good start. Remember the Texas Hold Tournament, you need to pay your entry fee and get signed up before all the spots are gone.
I will be giving you all the details on the Juan Diego and Judge girls soccer fundraiser on September 30. This one is going to be really cool as well. I am SO impressed with the Juan Diego and Judge Girl's Soccer teams, they have just amazed me with the support and willingness to help. In order to play this game, the girls had to give up playing a full game. This was a difficult thing because Judge beat Juan Diego last year in the finals. So, this game was huge to these girls. I know when they are able to present a check to Soccer Unites for their efforts, it will be worth it! Come support them and let them experience success from their sacrifice and efforts.
Well, I think that it is, I will be in touch very soon. Please feel free to add our comments.

What's In A Name?
"SOCCER UNITES" Honestly, when we picked the name I had NO idea what a powerful name we had actually chosen. Even the logo, I don't think I realized why it was so important to us that the logo show the meaning we were looking for. We wanted simple, yet powerful. Have you ever had something happen that you stop and say to yourself, "ok, now I understand?" Well, I am telling you it is happening to me!
I try to pass on to Andy, Marcia and the girls different emails, stories, and conversations that I have on the fund raisers. I KNOW of their appreciation and can assure you that they are gaining strength from the prayers and offereings that are being passed their way. It is getting to the point that I find myself reading something, or hanging up the phone and just going WOW!
In the past few years I have been fortunate enough to get to know the players that were once a part of the RSL team. Little did I know that when Soccer Unites, our website, and the situation with the Williams family started getting around I would not only hear from them, but would find myself overwhelmed with the outpouring of help and sincerety being offered. Although these guys are all in different states, soccer, friendship, and genuine caring for their teammate has united them once again. In no particular order, we have heard from Nelson Akawari, Mehdi Ballouchy, Nik Besagno, Jodan Cila, DJ Countess, Jeff Cunningham, Willis Forko, Christian Jimenez, Rusty Pierce, Carey Talley, Seth Trembly and Jamie Watson. They have either sent a donation, an autographed item, or are actually putting together their own fundraisers in the state are they in.
Seth Trembly will be putting together a fund raiser in a club (I will get the name) in Colorado on September 6. Seth has spoken to the owner and he has offered the club for the fundraiser, SO GENEROUS, Seth is still working on the details, but is working on a great band that will be donating their time to play that evening. He is also currently working with the Rapids, and their players to see if they can donate some autographed items for auction or attend that evening. I will absolutely be updating with the details. I will also be booking a ticket to Denver, I won't be missing this great time with my friend Seth!
Next, Jordan Cila is working on his own project (details to come) He called to ask if he could help. He saw the launch of a project he is working on as his opportunity to help Andy and Marcia. SO COOL, great conversation, very genuine guy! He will be getting back to me with details as well, but is looking at September 13, the day of the RSL vs New York game to have a pregame party to raise funds, and announce his endeavor. He saw this as a perfect fundraising senerio and after talking with him, so did I!
These are just a couple of stories, I promise to pass on more thru a later blog. I honestly feel that the prayers, love and support that is being united by soccer is something fans, sponsors, and players NEED and WILL WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN! I challenge you to join us, you, as much as The Williams' will benefit from the power of SOCCER UNITES!
On a personal note; Andy, we ALL wish you luck in Toronto with the Jamaican National Team, http://www.thereggaeboyz.com/ (Game on Wednesday) be safe.
Marcia, I love you, stay strong, you are my true friend! I want you to know it is AMAZING the amount of love and prayers that are there for you. You are not alone, that I can promise you.
To my girls, I love you both and feel blessed to have you a part of my life. You two are amazing and bring so much joy to me. Until later, May God Bless......

Another Great Day for Soccer Unites...
After a long day at work I made my way to my daughter's high school parent meeting. Little did the team know that their coach and I had been working on a couple of great service projects (One to be announced in a day or so). So after hearing about the upcoming season, we proceeded to tell them about Soccer Unites and the plans we had for our service project. As we began to talk about the project, the reason behind it, and the Soccer Unites/Andy T-shirts we are selling, you could feel the energy in the room rising! What an amazing feeling it was to see, and feel this team sincerely excited to be a part of our fund raising efforts! Of course I expected them to be excited to play before a RSL game, (Friday, August 29 Juan Diego vs Hillcrest), but I really did not expect the emotion and motivation that was so apparent after all was explained. It was an amazing feeling that I wish Andy and Marcia could have experienced. Everyone wanted to sell and purchase T-shirts, and the best thing, after the meeting I had several of the girls come up and ask me what they could do to help and volunteer with Soccer Unites. This expereince was so refreshing, just when I think our kids now a days sometimes don't get the reality of life, they totally surprise you. I want the girls to know that, 1. They made my day, and 2. The character that was shown by these amazing girls tonight made me very proud! I look SO forward to seeing your success.
So, to any of you that want to help our Juan Diego girls by purchasing tickets to the RSL game they will be playing before the RSL game on Friday, August 29, please email soccerunites@aol.com and we will arrange to get tickets to you. Corner tickets are $17.00 and premium seats are $25.00. The money that is raised by Juan Diego ticket sales to the RSL game that evening will go towards our fund raising efforts for Soccer Unites/Williams' Family. You will also see the Juan Diego Girl's soccer team walking around Carnival Real after their game selling our Soccer Unites/Andy T-shirts. If you get a chance, come purchase one.
Look for another VERY excting event that we have planned soon. Just waiting for a couple of confirmations and I will be back at ya with details!
Feeling blessed by the events of this day,
Deb

Updates on our Casino Night! Saturday, October 11, at the Salt Palace Convention Center.
If you have ever been to a Casino Party, you know how great they are! You buy a ticket to get in (Tickets will be on sale soon) that includes dinner and a few chips to start with. We will have Blackjack tables, craps tables, roulette tables, a DJ and even our own Texas Hold 'Em tournament that you can buy your way into. We will raise money by people spending money on chips, although you can only win tickets to put towards prizes.
We are currently looking for more sponsors for our casino tables. The sponsorships will range from $500 for a 21 Table, to $10,000 to sponsor the Texas Hold Em Tournament. The sponsors will be recognized at their specific table, and the dealer can wear their attire. We can even place a celebrity dealer at the sponsor's table for an added donation.
We are also looking for auction items, gift certificates, trips, and miscellaneous items, anything that we can put in an auction that will help us raise money. RSL players are actively involved in getting autographed items from around the league, but if you have connections, autographed items of any kind would be great!!

We Are Up and Running....
We are off, thanks to my friend, and co founder of Heart 2 Home, Author and Speaker,Tiffany Berg, http://www.tiffanyberg.com/ we have a website and are able to do so much more to update everyone! We will update often, so check back. It will also give us a chance to offer our prayers, and well wishes to the Williams' Family. I hope all of you can understand that this is also a personal time in the life of this family. They are SO grateful for everyone's prayers and support and are excited to be able to continue Soccer Unites to help others in the future. I am sure you will see some posts from Andy and Marcia in the very near future. I have to say they are two of the most genuine people I have ever met and I am honored to be a part of these efforts. What they don't realize is because of them, and this situation, Soccer Unites will be here in the future to help others. Thanks to all involved and for the support of Real Salt Lake, coaches, staff, players and families.
